Henley Five Months

Henley Faith

Our sweet little angel is 5 months old.  Well she was 5 months about a week ago so I am playing a little catch up right now.  Since her 4 month check up we started to introduce rice cereal into her diet. It took her about two weeks to learn to eat from a spoon and then another week for me to realize that she just didn't really care for the rice cereal.  Since then we have added squash and sweet potatoes to her rice and she is now a food lover.

There is not a doctors visit associated with the 5 month mark but Henley decided to catch her first cold causing an impromptu visit to see a doctor.  Our sweet girl had ear infections in both her ears.  Three days later on her antibiotic she is back to her smiley self. We can only hope that we won't be doing that again for a long time.  Since we visited the doctor I can report that her weight is 13.5 lbs.  Before long she will be our little chunky monkey.  Some of her favorites right now are swinging on the swing set with Chase and Leah, grabbing toys and playing with them, rolling around to get what she wants, watching the dogs, giving kisses (open mouth kisses), and drooling.  She is still a "spitter" and unfortunately now with the introduction of foods, her spit up is a nice shade of orange.  This sweet girl has the power with once smile to melt away any stress or anxiety.  She contains pure JOY.  We love you Henley!
